Eh?
As above. I must have woken up in the wrong decade or something. I'll live it down some day.
Which is more than Gene will.

Who cares. I'm over it. Next.
The untimely passing last week of US actor Chadwick Boseman was the lead article on the BBC UK news page for most of the day.
I genuinely didn't recognise the name, but had heard of 'Black Panther' , a Marvel Comic screen adaptation
Possible lead story for the Entertainment section, but the most important thing happening in the UK on that day??? Really?

Personally, I don't like Meghan, and I don't like the effect she's had on Harry. He has strayed from his pre-destined path, to my mind, in the same way that Wallis-Simpson caused a ripple effect.

I don't just mean a story that I don't care about.
I mean a story that doesn't actually exist.
It was reported in The Times and The Telegraph that I noticed.
The Times
Meghan missing from Harry’s birthday snap

The Telegraph
Royal-watchers left wondering after Meghan Markle missing from birthday messages to Prince Harry
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2020/09/15/fans-left-wondering-meghan-markle-missing-birthday-messages/ (paywall)
Here's a small snip of the text from The Times
"The Twitter account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posted birthday greetings to Harry...The picture chosen to accompany it conveyed a different message, however. It showed William, Kate and Harry racing each other at an event... in 2017." (i.e. no Meghan, no baby in the picture)
Makes it sound like it's a big thing.
The Telegraph talk about the Royal Family social media account, Clarence house, and Kensington Palace also not showing Meghan.
But it's a complete non-story.
As The Telegraph says way down at the bottom:
"In fact, it is common for royal social media pages – which are run by staff – to mark birthdays with photographs of the family member celebrating." and goes on to list other occasions with other Royals when this has happened (i.e. without their respective spouses, babies, etc)
So it's a perfectly normal practice in the Royal Family.
It's not newsworthy in any sense of the word.
